S.C. Primary: Mitt Romney Hands Out Panera Treats

With little left to do until polls open in South Carolina on Saturday, Mitt Romney decided to cap his campaign by handing out goodies from Panera Bread to the reporters who've tracked him on the trail, reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's gift of peach cobbler to her press pool.

Mitt and Ann Romney, Nikki and Michael Haley, and Bob and Maureen McDonnell boarded a Saab propeller plane in Charleston at sunset for a roughly 40 minute flight to Greenville. Romney aides Stuart Stevens, Rick Gorka and Garrett Jackson, as well as Haley aides, McDonnell aides and press corps were on board.

Before take off, Mitt Romney walked down the aisle with a large box of assorted pastries from Panera Bread to pass out to the passengers (including the governors and press).

"Who wants some more of these?" Romney said. "Look at this. This is good stuff. This is from Panera. Very high-end."

"Pain au chocolat in there," Romney continued. "Look at the sticky buns. Those are the best."

"Hey, Rucker, there’s still some more of those cheese cake babies in here," Romney continued. "No? You only had one of these. Come on, Ashley."

"Alright," Romney said. "We've got to get seated."

During the flight, Romney stayed seated in his second-row aisle seat, next to his wife, Ann, who sat in the window seat. Stuart Stevens sat across the aisle. Romney appeared to be reading and/or working on his iPad most of the flight.
